Check the configure.log or similarly named file (haven't compiled
anything recently so I'm blanking on the actual filename). I'm guessing
it didn't actually find the SSL header or lib files. Make sure you have
the openssl-devel RPM installed as you likely need that to compile
against it. There are x86_64 and i386 versions of this.
